This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing a new medical device called the Aqua Medical Circumferential RF Vapor Ablation System, which uses controlled heat energy to treat the inner lining of part of your small intestine (the duodenum). Researchers believe this treatment may help your body better control blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes. The study will check whether the procedure is safe, well-tolerated, and effective at improving your blood sugar control over 6 months.
Type 2 diabetes affects millions of people and can be difficult to manage with medications alone. This trial is exploring whether treating a specific part of the small intestine with heat energy might trigger improvements in blood sugar control, offering a new option for people whose diabetes isn't well controlled with current treatments.

If you enroll, you'll go through a screening and preparation phase, then receive the radiofrequency ablation procedure performed through an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube inserted through your mouth). The procedure itself is done under sedation. After the procedure, you'll have follow-up visits over 6 months to monitor your blood sugar levels, check for any side effects like bleeding or pain, and see how well the treatment is working. Your participation will last approximately 6 months total.
